Alright, how many of you are party animals that also have a budget? One of the top party décor trends we are seeing everywhere are those beautiful photography or party backdrops! They just finish off all the photos that you and your friends are going to share on Facebook! Well, here’s a little secret. It’s so easy to recreate them with stencils and wall decals! And it won’t break the bank! They are cheaper than buying, renting, and even printing off your own image! Let’s see how others have used stencils and wall decals to make an inexpensive, yet effective DIY photo backdrop:

Customize Backdrops to Your Style with Color and Pattern

Cute Photography Backdrops for Kids

Zoology Kids used our Lisboa Tile Stencil and Palace Trellis Moroccan Stencil in fun bright colors to showcase their “newly born, wildly happy kids’ line with a soft spot for animals.” Like their darling clothing and accessories, our stencils inspire creativity, curiosity, and joy. For your photo shoots , we recommend to design a couple of your own backdrops using colors that excite you and stencil patterns that express your individuality. This allows you the ability to switch up your background to accommodate different looks! Don’t think this means double work. Each backdrop can be done easily with a roller in less than an hour!

Mini Foto Booth, a photo booth rental company based in Mexico, knows that the best moments are here and now, and can only be captured instantly. Backdrops believe it or not play an important role because it provides a cohesiveness to your pictures! You can easily tell all the pictures came from the same event based on the backdrop! This helps attendees to commemorate and reminisce the precious yet fleeting moments of birthdays, weddings, reunions, and more! The party goers shown above chose our Fabric Damask Wall Stencil for their event. But you can use any of our stencil patterns to remember how fun that party was and how happy you and your friends were! See how easy it is to create memorable photos that all coordinate with one another and the event?

Just Stick and Pose! Save Even More Time and Money with Wall Decals

Who wouldn’t want an epic Star Wars themed birthday party? Since most of us don’t have millions to spend on an entire movie set production, the DIY route is the way to go! Amy of Atta Girl Says teamed up with her son to create a cool Star Wars photo booth backdrop with Wallternatives wall decals. These peel and stick wall stickers are even easier to use than stencils! After painting a scrap of plywood with carbon black paint, they randomly stuck our yellow Stars Vinyl Pattern Pack Minis on it. To add even more movie magic to their photos, she added image overlays to create a custom movie poster. That’s one lucky Jedi!

Wonder whether stencils or decals are for you? Remember although decals are definitely the faster option, you have less colors to choose from. With stencils, you will spend a little bit longer painting and waiting for it to dry, but you have every color to choose from!
